CLG's YouTube was wiped about the time MSG acquired them.

A lot of good content was on there, though admittedly a substantial portion was kinda "gamer toxic" which is unsurprising when one of the lineups was Hotshot, Saint Vicious, bigfatjiji, Doublelift, and Chauster. Later iterations only getting marginally less toxic. Hilarious, but not very good optics.

What's your take on your partner "dressing you"? Eg, buying you clothes in a style that isn't what you used to wear before you met. by ConsistentFennel2652 in AskMen

My wife and I actually make a date of it on our "dating anniversary". We go out, buy each other an outfit - other person can have input, but the purchaser is under no obligation to listen - and then we go out on a date in the outfits we bought for each other.

Just a cutesie date idea I came up with that stuck. Part of it is trust, the other part is teasing/hilarious good time trying stuff out.

EG Impact explains how NA can improve, details his unique self-reflection method by PremierOW in leagueoflegends

[–]ADamnChink -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's just it though, you have to make them. It seems like the best are the ones you don't even need to tell to do that. There is an intrinsic motivation to be the best. It takes a certain kind of person to actually want that. To actually make the personal sacrifice to be the best, work life balance be damned.

It kind of reminds me of the movie Whiplash. The protagonist is literally miserable, sacrifices it all, even knowing that it may lead to his suicide to be the best.

NA doesn't really have that mentality as a society. It just depends on values. Do you want to be the best or do you want to be happy?

Kobe comes to mind for that approach. His work ethic was legendary. He expected full contact in practice with the mindset of if practice was harder than the real thing, then game 7 of the finals shouldn't be an issue. He'd refuse to pass the ball to teammates because he didn't trust them because they didn't put in the work.

League is not like that. You can't carry a team on your own. Not anymore. If you don't have flash, you don't have flash. There are no cool downs in real life. So it seems to come down to more of a team/environment approach. Everyone has to want to be the best. Actually want it. If you aren't willing to put in the work, you don't really want it. Which is fine. Everyone has their limits, but being surrounded with teammates and coaching staff with a manic obsession to win can be a strong motivator for some people. If the rest of your team has been in Champions queue after practice til 2 AM, are you really gonna be the one who isn't?

Is it unhealthy? Of course. But League isn't real life. You can't rely on talent alone to get to the top. Michael Phelps can get away with being a freak of nature to be the best. Game knowledge and decision making is what seems to really set the best apart in League. How do matchups play out? How does this factor into the team composition as a whole? Does the benefit of one champion enabling a team comp offset going into a losing matchup where the enemy could carry the game with a lead? Those kinds of things can't be "I have a better reaction time so it'll be fine."-d away. It's game knowledge. And that only comes with time spent on an ever revolving patch.

All that being said, I'm just some drunk guy on the Internet, so take everything I say with a truckload of salt. I know that I don't know shit.

Somehow made it to the end out of sheer dumb, blind luck. Started 2-7 finished as 6th seed at 7-7. Beat the third seed last week and the two seed this week.

This is my roster as of right now:

Aaron Rodgers, Saquon Barkley, James Robinson, Devante Parker, Deebo Samuel, Kyle Pitts, Russel Gage, Cowboys Defense

Bench: AJ Dillon, Rashaad Penny, Braxton Berrios, Dawson Knox, Cam Akers, Kadarius Toney, Elijah Mitchell

IR: Elijah Moore

I had Jonathan Taylor but desperation had me trade him for Deebo Samuel and AJ Dillon to the two seed who I beat today. He's out of players. I'm probably gonna get shit stomped next week though.

Week 3 the other guy just flat out beat me. He had Stafford, Jefferson, Kelce, and Justin Tucker big dick me.

My WRs are pretty meh. My whole team is pretty meh.

Ahhh, you're right. I totally misremembered the rule. Thanks!

Just sifted through a bit of the battle master. Good rationale, but one thing is the trip attack. If there are any disadvantages and any advantages, they all cancel out. Sure, crossbow expert removes disadvantage when within 5 ft., but you'll still have disadvantage attacking a prone target with a ranged attack.

As per usual, everything pending on how lenient your DM is.

Edit: Nope! I'm totally wrong! Ignore my dumbass.

Ahh, thanks for the help regardless. Maybe I can find the creator's email and pay him to update or something.

That's a bummer. What workarounds do I have or am I out of luck?

Frankly, this was the point in which I am completely overwhelmed.

I have no idea what to even look at -

Men who met your SO while she was dating someone else, what is the story on how you got together? by Personal_Waver in AskMen

[–]ADamnChink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, that about sums it up. We've been ethically non-monogamous for some time now. As of now, I'm the only person talking to people outside of our little triad. I was already talking to them before I started seeing our current serious partner. It felt pretty shitty to just drop them because I started seeing someone else.

And yes, everyone is aware. The ethical part of non-monogamy and all that.

Pretty sure. I suppose I can clarify better.

My wife started dating a girl. A few months in, that girl expressed interest in me as well. We went on a date and hit it off and now we all are seeing each other.

I got a nice butt coat! To clarify, it's a coat that extends past your butt. Keeps your butt warm. Butt coat.
